Begin your vacation in London
with two
overnights and leisure time to make your own discoveries in this lively
city. Cross the English Channel by Eurostar train to Paris. Your
2-night stay here includes guided sightseeing that highlights the Arc
de Triomphe, Champs-Elysées, and the Eiffel Tower. Then, enjoy
time to explore the French capital at your own pace. Head southeast
through Burgundy to picture-perfect Lucerne in Switzerland. Visit
Lugano in the Italian-speaking Swiss canton of Ticino before crossing
into Italy. Stop in Verona to see Juliet’s balcony, and in beautiful
Venice, enjoy two overnights, a canal boat ride to St. Mark’s Square,
and free time to maybe try an optional gondola ride. In Florence,
“Cradle of the Renaissance,” enjoy a guided walking tour that
introduces you to Santa Croce, Signoria Square, Palazzo Vecchio, and
more. Admire the famous Leaning Tower of Pisa before spending two
nights in the “Eternal City” of Rome, with guided sightseeing that
highlights St. Peter’s Square, the Roman Forum, and the mighty
Colosseum.

Day1Arrive in London,
EnglandCheck into your hotel. In the afternoon,
you may want to start exploring the lively British capital. Uniformed
hosts are available to help you make the most of your stay.

Day2LondonA full day to savor our rich program of
optional activities: take a panoramic tour of London’s landmarks, visit
the Tower of London, or choose an excursion to Windsor Castle. Tonight,
maybe a leisurely cruise on the River Thames? (Breakfast)

Day4ParisParis is a world-class city that
probably has more familiar landmarks than almost any other city in the
world. This morning, see them during the included city tour. View the
famous Arc de Triomphe, Opéra, Eiffel Tower, Champs
Elysées, and much more with a Local Guide. In the afternoon,
feel like a French aristocrat as you join the optional walking tour
through the immense Palace of Versailles. This evening, why not join an
optional welcome dinner? (Breakfast)

Day5Paris–Lucerne,
SwitzerlandFascinating, ever-changing scenery
today. Views of Fontainebleau Forest, the wine-growing area of
Burgundy, then prosperous farms and tidy half-timbered villages as you
head through the Alpine heart of Switzerland to picture-book Lucerne.
(Breakfast, Dinner)

Day6LucerneOne of Switzerland’s finest cities
nestled amid its snowcapped Alps, surrounded by its lake, and
embellished by the clear mountain waters of the River Reuss. The
orientation includes the Lion Monument, erected in memory of the 800
Swiss Guards who defended Louis XVI and his wife at the wooden Chapel
Bridge. A grand selection of optional activities completes the day: a
cable-car ride to the 10,000-foot summit of Mount Titlis; a cruise on
the fjord-like lake; and, of course, time to shop for that very Swiss
watch. (Breakfast)

Day7Lucerne–Lugano–Verona,
Italy–Venice AreaMore wonderful Alpine scenery as you
drive into the mountain ranges that surround the massive St. Gotthard.
Once through its great tunnel, you’ll start your scenic descent into
the warmer and sunnier ambiance of the Canton Ticino. Stop in beautiful
Lugano and take a stroll along the lakeside promenade. Later, cross
into Italy and drive through the Lombardy plains to Verona, the city of
Romeo and Juliet, also known as "Little Rome" for its splendid
amphitheater still standing in its former glory. Overnight in the
Venice area. (Breakfast)

Day8Venice AreaVenice is more like a marvelous film set
than a real live city, with criss-crossing canals, gondolas and water
buses, arched bridges, palaces, and busy little piazzas. The
orientation starts with a boat ride and is followed by a chance to
watch Venetian glassblowers fashion their delicate objects as they did
centuries ago. Don’t miss out on the optional gondola trip, gliding
along the picturesque canals with a local troubadour to serenade you.
(Breakfast, Dinner)

Day9Venice
Area–Florence–MontecatiniStart the day by journeying south across
the Apennines into the gentle and hilly countryside of Tuscany. Then,
to Florence for an included walking tour with a Local Guide. Overnight
in Montecatini. (Breakfast, Dinner)

Day10Montecatini–Pisa–RomeThis morning, stop in Pisa to see the
famed Square of Miracles and to view the Leaning Tower. Then, journey
south to Rome. Tonight, an optional evening drive through the city, a
floodlit spectacular of shimmering fountains, magnificent churches, and
piazzas, followed by dinner. (Breakfast)

Day11RomeToday's sightseeing with a Local Guide
features St. Peter’s Square, and includes an inside visit of the
Colosseum and the Roman Forum. (Breakfast)

Want
more information
about planning
your tour of Europe?
Check out our Europe Travel
Guide - a "how to" guide to enjoy the best of a Cosmos Vacation.

More
than three decades ago Cosmos pioneered the idea of quality value
travel
to Europe. Since then we've developed and refined the concept of
vacation
packages. Over a million people have come back to us for a second or
third
vacation...or more!

Our clients'
repeat business is the best testimony to the incredible value and
experience
we offer.

If you've never
taken a package vacation, consider this: Traveling with Cosmos is less
expensive, more comfortable, and far easier than going it alone. Our
volume
contracting for hotels and services provides you with travel at
wholesale
prices. A Cosmos package is carefully planned to make the best possible
use of your time.

Our team of
experts has refined our itineraries to combine the must-see sights with
significant time on your own, offering more choice and flexibility. You
can travel relaxed and hassle-free, knowing that we've taken care of
all
the details.
Once you've
discovered the special advantages of traveling with Cosmos, you'll
never
want to travel any other way again. Cosmos is "A Smart Way To Go."

Cosmos
Takes
Care of Your
Hotels

Where
you stay makes all the difference After a day's
traveling you want to relax at a comfortable, clean, and attractive
hotel.
We have chosen hotels with the best rooms, service, and food for the
money.
Of course, they vary as different countries have different standards.
However,
we ensure that everywhere you get the best available in cleanliness and
comfort.

Cosmos hotels
are always located in good neighborhoods, some more centrally and
others
in residential areas. Especially in large cities we sometimes prefer
good
hotels in residential areas on the outskirts to less desirable or
overpriced
downtown hotels.

Rooms at all
our hotels include private facilities: private bath or shower and a
toilet.

Triple rooms
are usually no larger than twin rooms and the third bed is often a
roll-away
bed put into a twin-bedded room just for the night.

Cosmos
specifies
your hotels Our hotels
are mainly superior tourist-class (ST) and tourist-class (T)
establishments,
but we also feature some first-class (F) hotels. Cosmos hotel ratings
follow
standards set by the independent Official Hotel Guide (OHG) or by
national
tourist boards. The specific rating for each contract hotel is
determined
by our quality controllers.

We reserve
the right to substitute hotels listed on the tour pages with hotels of
equivalent standard. With your Cosmos travel documents you'll receive a
list of hotel addresses, telephone numbers, and fax numbers for your
tour.

Stretch
Your
Vacation Dollars

Value-packed
vacations at bargain prices With Cosmos,
a company that specializes in package travel arrangements, you'll visit
the world without spending a fortune. Because all our buying power is
devoted
to package travel, our clout with suppliers is powerfully concentrated
-- and we pass the savings on to you with affordable vacation packages
for every budget.

Singles
save
with "guaranteed share" rates More than one-third
of all people traveling with Cosmos are traveling independently. We
therefore
accept reservations on a "guaranteed share" basis. We charge singles
the
basic price and match up singles of the same gender in twin-bedded
rooms.
For mutual comfort we adopt a no-smoking rule in shared rooms.
"Guaranteed
shares" are not available for extra nights before or after your tour,
on
tours with overnight trains, or on train or cruise extensions. If we cannot
find a roommate for a traveler who has booked on a "guaranteed share"
basis,
we'll absorb the single room supplement, and that traveler will be
accommodated
in a single room at no extra charge. Of course we
do offer single rooms when available to those who prefer to travel solo
and pay the single supplement.

Triple
room
reduction Cosmos grants
a reduction to three people who travel together and share the same
accommodation.
Triple room reductions, when available, are listed in the Dates and
Prices
box on the tour page. A word of caution:
Triple rooms usually are no larger than twin rooms, and the third bed,
if there is one, is often a rollaway bed put in a twin-bedded room for
the night.

Discount
for
young tour membersCosmos grants
a 10 percent discount on the land tour price to travelers who are under
18 years old on the tour departure date, provided they are accompanied
by an adult. We do not accept children under eight on our tours because
we have found that they are too young to enjoy these vacations.

Plus For those who
have selected the Travel Protection Plan on their booking, we will
provide
the option to purchase our Travel Protection Plus Plan, at an
additional
cost of only $20.00* per person. Once this coverage has been selected,
Globus and Cosmos will allow you to cancel your vacation up to 24 hours
(or the prior business day, whichever is farther out) before the
scheduled
departure for any reason.

If the reason
for the cancellation is covered under the normal Travel Protection Plan
provisions, the passenger should file a claim with the plan's
administrator,
Travel Guard 1-866-729-5220, for the penalty retained. In the event the
reason for the cancellation is not covered, the cancellation penalty as
retained by Globus or Cosmos will be reimbursed in the form of Travel
Certificates
(less the Travel Protection Plan premium and the Plus supplement). The
certificates are non-refundable, non-transferable and will be valid for
one year from the date of the originally confirmed departure date.

The standard
Travel Protection Plan premium and the $20.00* supplement for the Plus
Plan are non-refundable. This supplement must be added and confirmed on
the booking within the original deposit period of the booking. The
Travel
Protection Plus Plan does not cover penalties associated with air not
purchased
through Globus and Cosmos or cancellation made within 24 hours (or the
prior business day, whichever is farther out).
